E.g. https://github.com/nhorman/rng-tools/blob/master/rngd_jitter.c is GPL-2 E.g. https://github.com/nhorman/rng-tools/blob/master/rngd.c is GPL-2+ LICENSE should be "GPL-2 GPL-2+" Reproducible: Always
Since GPL-2 effectively prohibits GPL-2+, I'm not sure if this is a real licensing issue.
The rule we go by is installed files, rather than simplifying it based on the most/least permissive (https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/licenses/index.html).
